The Max app is no longer on the Home Screen. I can search for it by going to add apps > search. And it can be launched from that screen. But there is no way to delete the app, move it from the search screen, or add it to the home page. How do we get the Max app back to the Home Screen?
We have refreshed and reset the Roku and the Max app is up to date.
We've started seeing reports of individual installed channel apps not being shown in the home page channel grid. These channels can be found and accessed via a channel search but this method is not very convenient.
This has been reported with a number of different installed channel apps, so it may be a random glitch not tied to any particular channel app.
Two methods have been suggested as means of removing the channel app in the hope that a re-install will now be visible in the home page channel grid. Note that these methods remove the channel app itself from your Roku account, but do NOT cancel any paid subscription you may have for this channel.

When in the Roku remote app on your mobile device:
• At the bottom of the first screen, click "Devices", and if necessary connect to one of your Roku devices.
• In your connected device display click on "Apps on Roku".
• Click AND HOLD the channel you wish to remove (a quick click will bring up the remote controls instead).
• Click on "Remove" and confirm.

Hi, @Awakker
Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.
I appreciate your post and would like to clarify your inquiry.
May I know which app you are referring to? Also, are the buttons you mentioned located on the remotes?
With more details, I can better understand your concern and assist you further.
